Chapter 382: The Seventies (14)
The eldest lady asked her in a low voice: "Girl, do you have no tickets?" I still have a one-pound meat ticket, which I haven't been willing to use, so I can give it to you. β
When Xu Yin heard this, she quickly continued: "What do you need?" β
The eldest lady gave her a "Shangdao" look, lowered her voice and said: "Regardless of coarse grains and fine grains, there are many that can be evenly given to the eldest mother." β
Want food? That's no problem, she has.
Xu Yin pretended to take out a millet bag containing three catties of flour from the back basket.
The eldest lady happily took it and quietly stuffed her with a meat ticket printed with the words 1 city catty, and the deadline was in these two days.
"Auntie, you gave me the ticket, what about yourself?"
"I have, I still have." The eldest lady patted her pocket.
The line of buyers for meat slowly moved forward.
Finally, when it was the turn of the middle-aged woman in front of the eldest mother, the master who cut the meat suddenly felt a gurgling pain in his stomach, ouch! It is specified that the morning pupao rice is bad, and the stomach is going to be thin!
Hurriedly called the new apprentice: "Xiao Zhu, hurry up, you are on top!" I'll come when I go. β
After speaking, he put the meat cleaver on the cutting board, covered his stomach and went to the toilet.
Apprentice Xiao Zhu was dumbfounded: "Huh? But I ...... Hey, Master Liβ"
He was holding a cleaver, a little at a loss.
The middle-aged woman urged him: "Why are you so grinding!" Today's guests are still waiting for the meat to be cooked! Hurry up! I want a pound of hoof meat. β
Hoof meat? There's a big barrel in the middle.
Xiao Zhu changed to a machete and tried to chop it, but the barrel bone of the meat did not move at all.
ββ¦β¦β
He looked back at the back door with a trembling heart, why hasn't Master Li come yet!
The middle-aged woman impatiently urged, "Hurry up! What are you grinding! I queued up for a long time, and finally it was my turn, the master ran away, and I didn't understand anything with a little apprentice, which was really unlucky......"
Xiao Zhu's face was flushed when he was said.
He was a new apprentice, and it had only been three days since he had been selling meat with Master Li.
For the first two days, Master Li cut the meat and weighed it, but he didn't have a chance to touch the meat cutter, let alone hold the machete, and suddenly asked him to cut the hooves with big bones, and he was worried that the meat would be chopped.
At this moment, Xu Yin stepped forward and took the machete and said, "I'll help you cut it, where is the location of the catty?" β
This Xiao Zhu could tell by feeling, and he pointed to an approximate location.
Xu Yin raised the knife in his hand, and a piece of hoof meat connected to the barrel bone was simply cut down.
Xiao Zhu glanced at her gratefully, picked up the rod scale and weighed it, no more, no less, just one catty.
The middle-aged woman's face was pale.
I thought I would cut more, and when I weighed, I asked the apprentice to hit the scale rod higher, anyway, the master was not there, and it was a little bit to take advantage of it.
I didn't expect her to ask for a pound and really cut a pound for her, no more, no less, just right, can you be happy if you don't take advantage of it?
I didn't know what to mutter, I reluctantly paid the money and the ticket, picked up the meat and left.
The eldest lady behind her said to Xu Yin with a smile: "I want one or two pork belly and another stick bone." β
"How much?" Xu Yin thought she had misheard.
The eldest lady handed over the ticket: "One or two." β
Xu Yin saw the words on the meat ticket clearly - 1 city tael.
Xu Yin: "......"
Your aunt is still your aunt!
Not to mention that the meat ticket is hidden until the deadline is approaching, you can still sell a pound of meat tickets when you are queuing, and you only keep one or two meat tickets.
Speaking of one or two pieces of meat, how much is it?
She watched Xiao Zhu cut off the narrow one, twitched the corner of her mouth, and scraped a stick bone for the eldest mother.
It was supposed to be her turn next, but there were a lot of people in line at the back, so Xu Yin said to Xiao Zhu: "I'll take it slowly, help the people behind first." β
The apprentice said, "What's the excuse then, or you keep the meat you want to buy first." β
Xu Yin thinks about it, in case it sells out.
So I asked for a pound of pork belly and a pig's trotters.
Pig's trotters don't need tickets, and they only cost one and a half cents, which is very cheap in Xu Yin's opinion. But that's all there is left, otherwise she wants to wrap it up.
A pound of pork belly cost her five cents and eight cents.
pasted a thousand matchboxes and earned five cents, which was not enough to buy this bit of meat, and she had to pay some money that Grandma Xu stuffed her yesterday.
These days, meat is so expensive!
Xu Yin sighed in her heart.
Put away your own meat and continue to help Xiao Zhu chop hooves and chop ribs.
Her divine power is used on this, which is simply overkill.
But others don't think so.
They only think that this little girl is too strong, like a young man in "Water Margin".
Not only is the strength great, but the knife technique is also extremely accurate, and there is no crooked knife when it goes down.
Xiao Zhu pointed out that wherever she chopped, there was never more than a penny, and there was never a penny, so that they couldn't find a chance to take advantage of it.
By the time Master Li came back, Xu Yin had already helped Xiao Zhu get more than 20 customers.
Master Li saw Xu Yin's neat ability to chop bones, and felt that this was the helper apprentice he wanted.
Like Xiao Zhu, who has thin arms and thin legs, he is born later, it's okay to take a scale, and it's okay to settle accounts and find money, but it's really worrying to use a machete, I'm really afraid that he won't be able to hold it steadily, and the knife will fall and hit himself.
"Master Li, are you back?"
When Xiao Zhu raised his arm to wipe his sweat, he saw Master Li behind him and reported happily:
"Master Li, thanks to the enthusiastic Comrade Xiao Xu today, if it weren't for him, I really don't know what to do."
Master Li sighed in his heart: Are you at ease when I am in the toilet? If it weren't for the rumbling in my stomach, I wanted to pull it when I got out of the toilet, as for dragging it on for so long.
Master Li took the machete that Xu Yin put down and neatly chopped a rib:
"Little girl, thank you today, the meat is rationed, I can't make the decision to send it casually, I don't want a ticket for this rib anyway, just when I buy it and give it to you, you take it back and add a dish."
Xu Yin refused to accept it, so he just stuffed it into her back basket.
In this way, I did a little favor to the apprentice and received a spare rib as a thank you gift.
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows, and wanted to ask Master Li: Do you recruit apprentices? Don't pay for the kind of ribs?
But you don't need to ask to know that the posts in the city are all set one radish and one pit.
And there are many radishes and few pits, and people in the city are waiting in line, how can she have her share.
She'd better go back to the countryside and farm!
Thinking very openly, Xu Buddha Farming Yin, carrying a snakeskin bag full of matchboxes and a small back basket with meat on his shoulder, walked briskly to the main entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, to see what kind of goods were relatively cost-effective without tickets.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
No tickets for cigarettes!
"Comrade, give me a pack of red plum cigarettes."
When you open a ticket, you can see that it is two cents and eight cents.
Not bad! can let Comrade Xu Laosan earn a few more days of work with high spirits.
It's a pity that the fabric has to be ticketed.
"Do you want a new alabaster? A bit pricey, but don't get a ticket. β
At this time, she heard a salesperson at the grocery counter next door asking a regular customer.
Regular customers asked, "How much is a box?" β
Salesperson: "One piece five." β
"Wow! So expensive! I was able to eat several meals of pork! β
The salesman opened the outer package and showed her: "The bottle is also worth a lot of money." β
Regulars shook their heads, reluctant to buy.
Xu Yinxing's eyes sparkled over and asked, "I really don't want a ticket?" β
"That's right! For new arrivals, tickets are not required at this time. β
"Give me two bottles."
She counted out three dollars.
I said in my heart, Comrade Chen Huilan, you have to behave well and earn a few more jobs to not waste the private money I lost!
Two bottles of alabaster, one for Cheap Niang, and the other for Xu Sang.
It just so happened that a new batch of chicken cakes had arrived at the grocery counter.
But this is a non-staple food ticket, and Xu Yin can't buy it.
But she remembers stocking up on a similar batch of old-fashioned chicken cakes.
It seems to be the small world of the actress, when I went to an ancient town to record a show, I saw that there were many shops imitating the seventies and eighties, selling some pastries and sweets that fit the occasion.
